She May be Evil

Chapter 45 King

"You have to hold her down her down." Dr. Osmund says as Circe lays on one of the beds.

My blood runs cold. "I have to do what?"

He turns to me."She can't move while i do this, its natural for the body to run from pain she'll want to move but it could make the wound even worse."

How much worse could it get i can see the bones in some of her fingers as solid metal coats her finger tips and palm. Circe's face sweats from the pain but she hasn't made a single noise yet.

"Dr. Kantus hold her feet." Dr. Osmund tells him and he does but my feet stay planted on the ground. I really don't want to.

"Its all right Kamau, you need to hold me down." She says gently beckoning me to hold her arms down.

I swallow hard and sigh.

I take a seat next to her on the bed before placing my hands on her wrist. Her arms stretched outwards with her messed up hand placed on a tray in front of Dr. Osmund. She looks me in the eye but i look away, I can't watch this. I can't watch her be in pain.

"Are you ready?" Dr. Osmund says as he picks up some forceps.

Circe breathes out. "Yes."

I flinch as Circe begins to scream and it's the most awful thing i ever heard. It causes guards to rush in the room and Dr. Kantus reassures them that shes okay and to stand down.

I hold her down as she begins to thrash around and i feel bile rising up my throat as i snap my eyes shut.

"Im sorry I'm sorry." I repeat quietly over and over again.

I finally look at her and i see an actual tear fall down her eye.

My heart tightens at the sight. "Im so sorry. Im sorry. I don't want to do this. Fuck i hate this."

She grunts in pain before she starts screaming again.

I snap my neck towards Dr. Osmund. "How long is this gonna take!"

"Im sorry but we're not even halfway."

I hang my head as i continue to listen to her scream.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

She stopped screaming, she didn't even pass out. She breathes heavy as sweat drips down her face, her eyes are hazy, delirious from the pain as he grabs the last piece of metal and rips it away from the skin.

He drops the forceps onto the tray. "All right now i can begin the healing process." He gently grabs her hand as i let go of her wrists and his light ribbon begin to unravel around her hand.

When he's done it looks like it never happened but that doesn't erase the pain she felt.

I pick her up and pull her close, putting one arm around her back and another on the back of her neck. "Im sorry."

She pats my back slowly. "Stop apologizing you did what you had to." She sounds exhausted.

"Let me just rest a little bit and then we can go."

"Are you crazy we aren't going anywhere."

"Yes we are. After my nap." Her voice is final as i gently lower her back on the mattress.

I sigh and put my head in my hands. Why can't she just take a second for herself.

I look at her sleeping form for a couple minutes and hold her hand.

I eventually get up and thank Dr. Osmund before i get up and go back to her room.

My eyes widen when i open the door. I see Rakia, Levos and a darkskin girl with gold eyes sitting on the couch near the fireplace. Mitsuko, Kolvar and Cela are sitting on the bed playing with the twins as Nimdre leans against the wall, and Selkie and Sansa sit by the table.
